Cisco Cisco Aironet 1310 Access Point Bridge Information Guide
A. You can configure an access point to operate as a workgroup bridge so that it can provide
wireless connectivity to a lightweight access point on behalf of clients that are connected by
Ethernet to the workgroup bridge access point. When you configure the access point to
operate as a workgroup bridge and connect to a Cisco Unified network, it can provide
wireless connectivity to wired clients that are connected by Ethernet to the workgroup bridge
access point. For example, if you need to provide wireless connectivity for a group of wired
devices, you can connect the devices to a hub or to a switch, connect the hub or switch to the
access point Ethernet port, and configure the access point as a workgroup bridge.

Q. Can a wireless client roam between LWAPP APs and autonomous
APs?
APs?
A. No, roaming between LAPs and autonomous APs is NOT supported. The reason is that,
when connected to LWAPP APs, traffic is passed through an LWAPP tunnel. Since there is
no mobility tunnel between the Wireless LAN Controller and autonomous APs, the roam does
not work.

Q. What antenna options are available with the different models of Cisco
Aironet 1000 Series LAPs?
Aironet 1000 Series LAPs?
A. The 1000 Series LAP enclosure contains:
One IEEE 802.11a or one 802.11b/g radio antenna
♦
Four high−gain internal antennas (two 802.11a and two 802.11b/g)
♦
You can enable or disable these antennas independently in order to produce a 180−degree
sectorized or 360−degree omnidirectional coverage area. Some of the 1000 Series LAPs can
also use external antennas. The 1000 Series LAPs come in three models:
sectorized or 360−degree omnidirectional coverage area. Some of the 1000 Series LAPs can
also use external antennas. The 1000 Series LAPs come in three models:
1010 LAP
♦
1020 LAP
♦
1030 LAP
♦
These are the available antenna options:
1010 LAP:
Four high−gain internal antennas
